BAYWATCH 4 : CLIFF LANDSCAPES
FORT MAHON, FRANCIA
Attività principali
Take part in a hands-on project to protect the coast and natural areas for 15 days! Your main mission will be to build dry hedges in a small valley. This helps protect dunes, reduce erosion, and create habitats for local wildlife.
At the same time, you will meet visitors on coastal paths. You will talk to them about good practices to protect dunes and biodiversity, especially during the nesting season of little plovers. You will encourage people to respect nature.
The project combines manual work and communication with the public. It is a complete experience: you will help the environment, meet people, and learn techniques to manage natural areas.
After two weeks, you will have helped restore a fragile ecosystem and learned useful skills in environmental work and communication, in a beautiful natural place with dunes, beaches, and protected areas.

Dove alloggerai
You will stay in your own tent at the campsite “La Vieille Eglise,” close to the work areas. A big shared tent will be used for meals and group time, and as a shelter if it rains. Toilets and showers are available at the campsite.
Group life is very important: everyone helps with daily tasks and cooking. A budget will be managed to buy food, focusing on fresh, local, and seasonal products for healthy meals.
Scopri FORT MAHON
The project takes place in Ault, a coastal area with high cliffs and amazing views over the sea. The area has rich biodiversity and different landscapes: cliffs, beaches, dunes, and wetlands. It is also a place where erosion and tourism are important issues.
You will take part in educational walks along the cliffs and coastal paths to discover local ecosystems and understand how fragile they are. In summer, there are also local events and markets to enjoy and discover the culture of the region.
